Imagine this:
You had a list of say, 10,000 serious fans and you just finished a new recording। You send out the news to your opt in email list and a few of them buy your new cd, let’s be modest and say only 20% buy. By writing a tiny email and pressing the send button you just sold 2500 cd’s! What did you sell them for? Let’s say the price was $15. You just made $37,500.
Not bad. Now imagine working even harder at building that email list and getting 50,000 subscribers, 100,000 subscribers and do the math again. Are you with me? I thought so. You won’t be looking to call any record companies, they’ll be calling you! But now you don’t need them anymore.
Is your email list growing on a daily basis? Do you even have an email list? Do you need one? Do you know what it is? Listen, if you want to build your fan base and business you must have one!
What is this opt in email list exactly and what’s the proper way to go about getting one started? Glad you asked!
I’ve been doing it a while now and have learned some very important facts that I will share with you so you can start with the right foundations and make the best use of your time and efforts to build and grow your very own list. You’ll be glad you did.
Besides having an opt in page on your website you should be collecting names at all your live gigs as well, especially from people who have just bought a cd from you cause you know they’ll definitely want to be included.
Important fact #1
The people on your list have to be opt-ins. This means that they put in their own name and email address in the opt-in box on your website, or blog. You’re not just sending out emails to whoever is in your address book or whatever. This is called spamming and nobody likes that.
On the other hand, when someone opts in to your list that means they are truly interested in what you have to offer so they are pleased as punch when you send them something because they asked for it and that’s the difference.
Important fact #2
To have an opt-in box on your site you need the services of an auto-responder. This piece of software takes the customer information and builds the list for you. But it does much more than that. (this will be fully covered in another article)
Important fact #3
Traffic। You need people to see your site in the first place or there won’t be too many signing up onto your list. (getting lots of traffic will be covered in another article)
